To expand the analogy further the scrum, in modern rugby, is the worst part of the game and has gone through several iterations the last couple of decades to reform it as it often ends in a stalemate or arbitrary penalty to one side (as good as a coin flip), or worse: a head injury.

The approach has seen the game settle with "Crouch, Bind, Set", which seems to be a good compromise. And yet the hooker always, always ALWAYS, puts the ball in crooked and yet never gets called up on it.

In other words, it's all a big waste of time and energy.

(We're using agile at work, daily standups and retros, and it seems to be working)
